Malaysia implemented e-filing some years ago and it is important to note that taxpayers have now preferred to submit their income tax returns through e-filing. The e-filing system is open from March 1st every year, to April 30th. However, there is a grace period or an extended deadline for e-filing till May 15th. Always remember to double check these dates on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hasil.gov.my\/\">LHDN <\/a>(Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negara) website. The system of e-filing is simple and user friendly and a lot faster than manual filing, that is why it is quickly becoming the most popular for tax payers in the country.&nbsp;But if you still think filing your income tax is still a hassle, don&#8217;t worry! CompareHero has your back, we have a quick guide to help you file your income tax.<\/p>\n<h2>How to file your personal income tax online in Malaysia:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Basic requirements<\/li>\n<li>Which forms to use<\/li>\n<li>Tax reliefs &amp; rebates<\/li>\n<li>Filing online<\/li>\n<li>Payment options\n<ul>\n<li>Through FPX<\/li>\n<li>Over the counter<\/li>\n<li>Through ATM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you\u2019re anxious about getting caught in the crowds of people paying their taxes at the last minute, there\u2019s some good news.
